ChocoLattes, Lace & Frills, Glitz & Glam: Bread!

in my undergrad years i used to bake chocolate chip cookies at like 2 or 3 in the morning while studying for midterms/finals as a stress reliever...also to procrastinate the inevitable studying and to be in denial that the test is just a few hours away...and at 2 or 3 in the morning my roomie at the time would chomp on the cookies...she jokes about it time to time how i would bake and she would eat

anyway...a few years later...while studying i decided to bake the no knead bread again! 2nd time baking and although the recipe itself is simple and doesn't require much effort, transferring the stupid dough into the pot/pan is quite the task! the first time i did it...i wet my hands to prevent the dough from sticking while i transferred it into the bakeware...but it was so gooey it stuck to my hands and as a result plopped into the pan in a shape that i wouldn't even classify as round or circular...think asymmetrical melanoma shape here >.> anyway so this time i thought why not let it rest on parchment paper and then plop it into the pan? well i must say that the dough was a lot rounder resting in parchment paper lining my mixing bowl, but once again while transferring the dough refused to fall from the paper...at one point i was looking at a 1 foot long monster dripping from the parchment paper to the pan and i had to use my hands to pry it off the parchment paper...luckily it landed in a round shape this time, but i'm not sure what that stretching of the dough prior to baking did to my finished product. maybe it stunted the bread's rising power a bit...who knows, i don't have much to compare with. anyway still looks good though..can't wait to nom on this with parmesan spinach artichoke dip...i'm hungry T_T
